An 82-year-old influencer, Mónica Mancini, was violently attacked in her home by two teenagers from a criminal gang known as the Banda del Millón, which was captured on security footage.
Mónica Mancini, an 82-year-old influencer, was the victim of a brutal attack by a gang of teenagers known as the Banda del Millón. The incident took place at her home in Martínez, San Isidro, in the Greater Buenos Aires area, early in the morning on January 9th. Security footage from her bedroom shows the harrowing details of the attack, which lasted nearly two hours and involved a direct threat to her life. Two of the assailants, having broken in through the roof, confronted Mancini in her home and brutally assaulted her.
At around 3:57 AM, Mancini encountered the intruders who quickly overpowered her, throwing her to the ground while issuing a chilling warning, "Shut up because we will kill you." This shocking encounter highlights not only the physical violence inflicted upon the elderly influencer but also raises concerns about the rise in gang violence affecting vulnerable populations in Argentina. Such crimes are particularly alarming given their occurrence in a seemingly secure neighborhood.
The increasing frequency of such violent home invasions by youth gangs in major urban centers poses serious questions about public safety and law enforcement response in Argentina. Mancini's case serves as a harrowing example of how crime is impacting daily life for many citizens, especially the elderly, and underscores the urgent need for preventative measures and community engagement to combat rising crime rates.
